Why, **Scottchier** , darlinā€™, how did you guess Iā€™ve been imbibing in New Yearā€™s cheer? Are you psychic or something, hon? šŸ˜ƒ I do confess, that since Xmas Eve, minus a few days, Iā€™ve managed to consume 3/4 of a bottle of Laphroaig. :o I declare, I donā€™t know _where_ all that delicious Scotch went so fast. [innocent eyes] I do apologize if Iā€™ve said or done anything to embarrass you or myself in this thread. [giggle] As far as the giggling goes, Iā€™m the GIGGLEMEISTER. Gigglinā€™s what lil olā€™ me does on the SDMB. šŸ˜ƒ Carry on with the **TubaDiva** lovefest. šŸ™‚ ---

You did nothing WHATSOEVER to embarass EITHER of us, not at ALL! I hope it didnā€™t come across as me thinking you were, eitherā€¦I was mostly having fun. And YES, I am fey. [sub]Be afraid, be VERY afraid! :)[/sub] GIGGLE ON!!! ---

Iā€™d be an ass (well, more of one than usual) if I didnā€™t scoot in here and also express my gratitude for Jenny. And the other mods! ---

Iā€™ve nominated a lot of threads for Threadspotting (including this one, which I doubt will make it), and TubaDiva has always sent lovely e-mails in reply. ā€œSo whatā€™s a discreet one?ā€ Iā€™ll remember that line if I live to be 1,000,000. ---

Verily, the lady Jenny rocks. This is the only appreciation thread to date that didnā€™t make me cringe. And she really does play the tuba! Told me so onceā€¦ Has anyone got a picture of her from a Dopefest or something that they can post a link to? Iā€™ve often wanted to be able to put a face to her name. ---

Indeed, this thread is long past due. Thanks, Tubadiva for years of good work. This goes for all the Mods. šŸ™‚ ---

> [@](#): > > This goes for all the Mods. I completely agree that theyā€™re all gems in a mess ofā€¦ ā€¦posters. šŸ˜‰ But I wanted especially to single Jenny out, because I think right about now she needs it the most, and because her work, being ā€œbehind the scenesā€ more than most, gets unnoticed by those of us who donā€™t know a whole lot about the running of the board, just how much fun it is to be a part of. ---

Thank goodness. I was looking for the right way of saying ā€˜thank youā€™ to her for fixing that weirdness with my account a few weeks ago. So here goes: ::throws confetti:: ā€œThank You Tubadiva!!ā€ ---

Just a little gentle chain-jerking in the direction of any passing Mods. who happen to open this thread: > [@](#): > > And a special request to Mods.: to the extent that you can do it without violating confidences and breaking rules, would you individually let us in on some of the stuff sheā€™s done that sticks in your memories as ā€œspecial,ā€ ā€œabove and beyondā€ efforts? I realize that the Universal Moderator Cabal for World Domination ā„¢ requires that a great deal of confidential information remain that way, but surely thereā€™s _something_ you can shareā€¦? šŸ™‚ ---

This is a :: bump :: since this thread has fallen to page three on the MPSIMS menu, and Iā€™ll hazard a guess that there are a lot of people who would have liked to comment and havenā€™t seen it. ---

A huge cyberhug goes to Jenny from **Shayna** and yours truly. We owe a lot to this place and weā€™re very aware of the huge effort she puts into keeping it alive & well. Itā€™s very much appreciated! {{{{{Tubadiva}}}}} [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-tubadiva-appreciation-thread/145979.md?page=2)
